I followed this recipe to the letter, and it was absolutely delicious! It made such a nice savory/sweet combination with the french toast casserole on Christmas morning. Thank you! I’m making it again now….
So glad you enjoyed it! 🙂
I would like to make this. Can I substitute the coconut cream with something else Whole30 compliant. Making it for the family and not everyone likes coconut.
You can substitute the coconut cream with any other super creamy, unsweetened plant-based milk. We use the coconut cream because of its fat content.
